Who we are

Global Platform Denmark is Copenhagen’s new powerhouse for activism, education and research in global citizenship and innovative pedagogy. Located next to the ActionAid Denmark secretariat we are housed in a former grammar school building and offer a wide range of activities across our 6 floors including 8 classrooms and workshop spaces, a co-working space for NGOs, an activist and project space, dormitories and an urban garden.

Why we are here

Global Platform Denmark’s mission is to bring together researchers, young people, NGOs, educators and professionals in order to collaboratively develop the tools that young people need in order to become active, global citizens in the 21st Century. Global Platform Denmark is a place where sparks are ignited so that young people are inspired to engage with, and generate solutions for the global challenges we face.

Who we are here for

Global Platform Denmark offers a wide range of activities aimed at bringing together a cross-section of people who want to make a change. Our co-working space welcomes NGOs and organizations of all sizes as well as student researchers and freelance consultants who work with issues around international development and innovative pedagogy. Our classrooms and meeting spaces offer inspiring surroundings for activist trainings, student trips, conferences and seminars. Our project space can be used by ActionAid volunteers and local activists. And finally our Global Garden provides a calm civic space for the local community in the midst of the bustling neighbourhood of Nørrebro.
